Keyword Research Tool

The Keyword Research tool pulls search volume, CPC, and competition data from Google Ads for any keyword — so you can validate ideas with real demand data before investing in content.

What It Does

The Keyword Research tool connects to Google Ads data to pull real search volume, cost-per-click, and competition metrics for any keyword. This is the same data SEO professionals use to prioritize content — now available directly in your agent conversation.

You can research up to 10 keywords at once, making it easy to compare multiple content ideas and find the ones with the most search demand.

When to Use It

Validating content ideas — check if people actually search for a topic before you write about it
Comparing keyword options — which variation of a keyword has the most volume?
Prioritizing your content calendar — focus on keywords with real search demand
Estimating commercial value — high CPC keywords often have stronger buyer intent
Supplementing GSC data — GSC shows what you rank for, keyword research shows what you could rank for

Data Returned

Metric	What it means	How to use it
Monthly Volume	Average monthly searches on Google	Higher volume = more potential traffic, but also more competition
CPC	Cost-per-click in Google Ads	High CPC signals commercial intent — people searching this keyword are ready to buy
Competition	How competitive the keyword is in paid search (Low/Medium/High)	Gives a rough sense of how hard it will be to rank organically too

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
keywords	Yes	Array of keywords to research (max 10 per query)
location	No	Target country (default: United States)
language	No	Language code (default: "en")

Example Queries

“What's the search volume for "project management software", "project management tools", and "best project management app"?”

Compares three keyword variations to find which one has the most search demand.

“Look at my top 5 opportunity keywords from GSC and tell me their search volumes”

The agent first queries GSC for opportunity keywords, then pulls search volume data for each one.

“Research these keywords for the German market: "projektmanagement software", "aufgabenverwaltung"”

Location and language-specific research for non-English markets.

Note

Search volume data comes from Google Ads and represents monthly averages. Volumes can fluctuate seasonally — the agent can show you monthly trends if you need more detail.

Combining with Other Tools

Keyword Research is most valuable when combined with your existing data:

GSC Query + Keyword Research — find keywords you rank for in GSC, then check their total search volume to prioritize which to optimize first
Keyword Research + SERP Analysis — validate demand with volume, then check who ranks to assess difficulty
Keyword Research + Brief Generator — research volume, then generate a brief targeting the highest-potential keyword
Keyword Research + Competitor Research — discover competitor domains, then research the keywords they compete on

Tips for Better Results

Research variations — check 3-5 versions of a keyword to find the one people actually search for
Don't chase volume alone — a 500-volume keyword you can rank for beats a 50,000-volume keyword you can't
Use CPC as an intent signal — keywords with $5+ CPC often convert better than high-volume informational queries
Match your market — always set the location to your target audience's country
Batch your research — research up to 10 keywords at once to compare options side by side

Tip

Try asking: “Find my top 5 opportunity keywords from GSC, check their search volumes, and recommend which one I should write about first.” The agent chains GSC data with keyword research to give you a data-backed recommendation.
